The project to build the world cheapest car began in the 2003 under the chairman of Tata motors, Ratan Tata.The main purpose of the project is to change the lifestyle of the low income family where most of them uses motorcycle as their means of transportation.Wit the the introduction of the Tata Nano, most of the low-income family will be able to buy and use a safer 4 wheeled car rather than the risky 2 wheeled bike.
To reduce the cost to a minimum, Tata had to refine the manufacturing process and a lot off innovation and design approaches had been used to achieve the goal.The The car was designed at Italy’s Institute of Development in Automotive Engineering.
Among the method to save the cost includes;
-The Nano’s boot does not open, instead the rear seats can be folded down to access the boot space.
-It has a single windscreen wiper instead of 2
-Some exterior parts of it are glued together, rather than welded
-It has no power steering
-It’s door opening lever is much simpler

Nak buat boleh tapi senonohlah sikit,Aircon tu standard lah,Gua rasa enjin 2 cylinder 33hp sesuai naik sorang je.Lainlah kalau hp 45 torque 60nm ke bru okay.
errr safety question >> IS IT SAFETY ENOUGH DURING ACCIDENTS?
Lebih kurang cam kancil lah jugak, kalau langgar kuat abis anak beranak jadi arwah. Tapi yg penting dia boleh jual below 10k. Itu dikira bagus lah compare kancil kat sini, cecah 25k keatas, kira2 tiga bijik nano punya nisbah harga. Ada ker patut.?
